GERMANS FEAR
NEW BRITISH GUNS
TRENCHES AND DUGOUTS ARE
SO BADLY DAMAGED THEY
CAN NOT BE USED.
WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.
With the British Armies in the
Field. (By Mail.)—The smashing ef-
fect of British artillery and its de-
moralizing influence on the Germans
continue to be the theme’of deserters
and prisoners’ confessions, soldiers
diaries and reports of officers. “From
11 a. m. until 5:30 p. m. the trench
lay under a heavy and very effective
fire which continued without a stop,”
wrote a Company Commander of the
31st. Infantry Regiment of the 18th
Division in his report which was cap-
tured with the writer. “Nothing is
left of the trenches and the dugouts
are so much damaged that they cannot
be used. The location of our dugouts
must be accurately known as shell
after shell bursts right on top of them,
or quite close by. Also between 10
and 11 p. m. the enemy’s artillery of
both medium and heavy calibre shelled
the trench with unprecedented vio-
lence. Enemy airmen hovered over
our positions the whole day and came
down very low. They directed the fire
throughout. Our own artillery seemed
to have fired very little. German air-
men appeared only towards evening
but the enemy’s airmen would not let
themselves be disturbed in their work.
Nothing is left of the trench. The
enemy appears to be using a new
type of gun and shell. A red flame is
visible but we cannot hear the report
of the gun. The shell bursts with an
explosion resembling that of a mine
and the destructive area of the burst
is large. I consider it my duty to
draw the attention of the battalion
staff to the fact that, in the event of a
bombardment of equal intensity to-
morrow, no dugout will be left to pro-
vide shelter.”

Wednesday night service in the re-
yival meeting at the First Baptist
church reached high water mark. A
full house heard Pastor Fred F. Brown
in an appealing sermon from the par-
able of the prodigal, taking as the
specific text, “And when he came to
himself,” he developed it under the
theme “Finding Ourselves.” Five were
received in the service and the pastor
baptised twenty-one. Thirty-five have
been baptised so far in the-meeting
and seven stand approved for baptism.
Total additions to the church thus far
in the meeting numbers sixty-eight.
The meeting will not close till Sunday
night. 'Mr. Brown did not say posi-
tively whether he could return as he
was not well and had a good deal on
hand in his work in Sherman. He is
however expected for the Thursday
and Friday night services. Should he
not return the pastor will preach and
the meeting will go on. Pastor Cowan
announced at the Wednesday night
service that the meeting would con-
tinue through Sunday with service on
Saturday night also. Another bap-
tismal service Sunday night and that
will close the special meetings. The
Baptist people are rejoicing and many
of their friends are rejoicing with
them in the good meeting and the
splendid work done by Dr. Dodd, Dr.
Brown and by the singers, J. A. Brown
and Charles O. Miller. Mr. Miller will
remain through Sunday and sing at
each service.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup-
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant-
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con-
stitutional conditions and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a consti-
tutional remedy, is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System. One Hundred
Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hall’s Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

Washington:—Even before the Navy,
the nation’s first line of defense is the
Marine Corps.
Should our fleet or any part of it see
service on foreign shores, it will be a
squad of Marines who first set foot on
land. Every first line battleship of
the Navy carries aboard a permanent
detachment of Marines.
Subject to either sea or shore duty,
they are the amphibians of the Navy
—generally recognized as the most
versatile and elastic branch of the
national defense. Kipling spoke of the
British marine as “Soldier and sailor
too.” Its the same in our navy.
Major General George Barnett is
commandant in charge of the U. S.
Marine Corps.
He has been through thirty-six years
of adventurous service, largely in for-
eign countries.
He participated in the landing of U.
S. Marine in China, when foreign gov-
ernments joined to quell the noted
Boxer uprising.
Later in 1906, he commanded an ex-
peditionary force to pacify Cuba, when
an attempt was made to throw off the
Republican form of government*^.
In addition, he has seen extensive
service in Panama, the Phillipines, and
other parts of the tropics.
“His reports on fitness,” says the
navy department official record, “have
been uniformly excellent and his wide
experience will enable him to render
valuable service as head of the Marine
Corps.

BELGIUM 10 GE1
BIG WAR 10AN
WILL NOT BE MADE UNTIL NE-
GOTIATION FINISHED WITH
FRANCE AND ITLAY.
Washington, May 2.—In addition to
loans to France and Italy totaling be-
tween $200,000,000 and $300,000,000,
the United States soon will make a
loan to Belgium, the amount of which
is yet to be determined. Unofficial es-
timate of the size of the Belgian loan
place it at approximately $150,000,000.
Administration officials have been in
a receptive mood toward an applica-
tion for a Belgian loan ever since the
war finance measure became a law,
but formal application for a loan was
not made until today, when the Bel-
gian minister, Baron de Carier, called
upon Secretary McAdoo and placed be-
fore him tentative estimates as to the
relief desired.
Secretary McAdoo and Assistant
Secretary Crosby discussed details
with the minister for more than three
hours. The tentative estimate was not
divulged, but it is understood that it
contains provision for meeting in part
the Belgian government’s needs in
maintaining a large number of re-
fugees domiciled in France, in addition
to requirements of a military nature.
